Frymaster OCF30 operation manual Danger

There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and detergent.

If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. (If the unit is equipped with a Magnasol filter screen rather than with the standard screen and paper system, verify that the O-ring on the bottom fitting of the screen in present and in good condition.) Verify that the two O-ring(s) on the fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition.

5.3WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE 5.3.1 Clean Frypot and Heating Elements

DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.

5.3.2 Boiling Out the Frypot

After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the boil out procedure that follows.

1.Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with a mixture of cold water and detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container when mixing.

2.For fryers equipped with 3000 controllers, program the controller for boil-out as described on page 4-14. For fryers equipped with CM 3.5 controllers, program the controller for boil-out as described in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual.

3.Simmer the solution for 30 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation.

DANGER

Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes before resuming the process.

4.Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the OFF position.

5.Add two gallons (7.6 liters) of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.

WARNING

Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built-in filtration unit, or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be damaged by the solution.

6.Refill the frypot(s) with clean water. Rinse the frypot(s) twice, drain and dry with a clean towel. Thoroughly remove all water from the frypot and elements before refilling the frypot with oil.
